Genesis 11:6-8
International Standard Version
6 The Lord said, “Look! They are one people with the same language for all of them, and this is only the beginning of what they will do.[a] Nothing that they have a mind to do will be impossible for them! 7 Come on! Let’s go down there and confuse their language, so that they won’t understand each other’s speech.”
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the surface of the whole earth, so that they had to stop building the city.
